Continuing Education Course - Creating A Sustainable Backyard Habitat

Brunswick Education Transition Center (BETC), 104 Ocean Hwy E, Supply, NC

Class begins Monday, July 29, 2013

How would you like to transform your back yard into a beautiful, breath-taking and ecologically friendly habitat? Brunswick Community College, located in Supply, NC is thrilled to announce a new and innovative continuing education course for the summer session.

In this course you will learn how to - attract birds, butterflies and other beneficial wild life, install native plants and grasses, which require less maintenance (= less time and $$) how to get rid of invasive plants, which cost you $$ and many other valuable skills. This is not the typical classroom course. Each week we will travel to one of the participants’ yards for a site assessment and work in and out of the classroom, as well as, host guest speakers to help create a sustainable backyard habitat for you.

“This class is an incredibly new and exciting addition to our summer offerings”, according to the Director of BETC.

Classes will meet on Mondays and Friday from 9 am until 1 pm beginning Monday, July 29, 2013. Deadline to register is Friday, July 26, 2013 Please contact Lisa Jarvis, course instructor, at 910-465-8035 for additional information.
